Hello All,

Being a long-time Me 163 Komet fancier, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this ARF Me 163 R/C scale model (see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9tDy5rlEBQ ), which is designed to use standard model rocket motors. It has a high-powered, nose-mounted brushless electric motor which turns a slightly up-scaled propeller (the full-scale Komet had a nose-mounted generator with a propeller-type slipstream wind turbine; the model uses this as its tractor propeller). With this alone, it is capable of blistering speeds and snap maneuvers, and the R/C-ignited rocket motor option gives it even greater acceleration and velocity.
